Frequently asked questions
How do I find a Guide ID?
You can use the list_guides tool to retrieve all mobile guides in your account along with their unique identifiers and names.
Can I see the speakers or exhibitors for an event?
Yes! Use the list_custom_lists tool with a specific guide_id to retrieve all custom directories like speakers, exhibitors, or sponsors.
Does the integration support viewing the event map?
The list_guide_locations tool provides the metadata for all mapped locations within a guide, helping you identify precisely where sessions take place.
How does the OpenAI Agents SDK connect to MCP?
Use MCPServerSse(url=...) to create a server connection. The SDK auto-discovers all tools and makes them available to your agent with full type information.
Can I use multiple MCP servers in one agent?
Yes. Pass a list of MCPServerSse instances to the agent constructor. The agent can use tools from all connected servers within a single run.
Does the SDK support streaming responses?
Yes. The SDK supports SSE and Streamable HTTP transports, both of which work natively with Vinkius.
